mesoamerican early agriculture
كشاورزي اوليه مزوامريكايي/ نيمه امريكايي


Explanation:
Mesoamerica or Meso-America (Spanish: Mesoamérica) is a region and culture area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Honduras and Nicaragua, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries.[1][2][3] Prehistoric groups in this area are characterized by agricultural villages and large ceremonial and politico-religious capitals[4] This culture area included some of the most complex and advanced cultures of the Americas, including the Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Aztec.[5]

كشاورزي نخستين در منطقه مزوآمريكا / مكزيك و آمريكاي مركزي


Explanation:
WordNet 2.0:
1. Mexico and Central America

Mesoamerica is a reagon including Mexico and the whole central America.

"Mesoamerica" is sometimes translated into Persian as:
منطقه آمريكايي – آفريقايي


Ancient Civilizations of Mesoamerica

mesoamerican early agriculture
دوران اولیه کشاورزی در آمریکای مرکزی


Explanation:
Meso means "between".That,s why mesoamerica is between two america(southern and Northern america) therefore we can translate it as "central america".We say "mesopotamia"meaning in Farsi "beinon-nahrein or mianrodaan".so I propose Mesoamerican early agriculture" to be translated as دوران اولیه کشاورزی در آمریکای مرکزی

neutral  Ryan Emami: I think that's Central America which means آمریکای مرکزی. Central America plus Mexico makes Meso-America.
